Welcome to my little corner of the web. My name is Craig and I'm currently a computing student at Brighton university in England. If you care anymore about who I am, I have an about page. This is really a way of me pulling together all the stuff I put on the web, although it's still very much work in progress. If you would like to contact me you will notice there is a contact page. If you are looking for the code to crack (which isn't too hard, a couple of people have got it now), then that's over here.

As many people know, I know a thing or two about computers. If anyone asks my industry or my field I normally say computing. I say that for simplicities sake, because otherwise it leads to too many questions.

While technically correct, it avoids the detail that makes the difference.
As soon as someone hears that I do web development and "build websites" as I put it, they want to know if I can help them with their computer. While as it happens I often can, in reality the computer is just a tool to me in my industry the same as it is to a secretary in an office. While you would expect them to be able to use the machine, you would not expect them to fix it when it went wrong.
People seem to think that everything to do with computers is all the same and that if you can do one thing in computing you can do them all. If only it was as simple as this.
